Play Nice: A Solo Show by Troy DeRose

Rubbish Gallery just got booted by its landlord, but art still has a foothold in the Bijou Street alley, thanks to the Modbo (17C E. Bijou St., themodbo.com). Actually, tonight, the gallery will even carry the water (or alcohol) for 15C, its still-darkened neighbor bar, with an opening reception for Troy DeRose's Playing Nice show. A member of the Modbo Collective and a graphic designer by trade, DeRose has created an assortment of pieces that tweak the concept of self-restraint. The gallery opens at 5:30, and at 9 — because the Modbo just doesn't know restraint, itself — the Hopeful Heroines will provide musical accompaniment. — Kirk Woundy
